Elena Kovalenko

Elena Kovalenko (L’infini) is an award-winning filmmaker living between Dubai and Los Angeles. Her early creative background as a VJ led to a transition into filmmaking and soon to her first short film in 2010. Since then, Elena’s experimental work has received critical acclaim and collected international awards and recognition with festival screenings in Cannes, London, Orlando, Los Angeles, and Dubai among many others.
In early 2017, Elena launched her own production outfit, The Films (formerly L’Infini Productions), and under this guise as a producer, writer and director, her growing body of work shows her technical and creative talents continue to flourish and challenge both her and her audience.
